*aka "who are you most shocked/surprised/upset/aghast that we lost in the first round?"
Propaganda for Each:
Augereau:
“dude’s backstory is a fucking dungeons and dragons adventurer backstory, duellist who had to flee France after killing an officer, adventurered in Prussia and Russia and duelled and fought, also cannot physically stop swearing, what a man”
“Man of many talents even before the Revolution: noted swordsman and duellist, so talented that he accidentally killed a superior officer. Joined armies all over Europe, then taught fencing and dancing after he settled. Eloped with his first wife, whom he loved and respected. Partly responsible for victories at Castiglione and Arcole during the Italian campaign. Tied himself to a horse to lead his corps on Eylau (very metal). Has a very cool portrait where he points at a portrait of himself at Arcole
Gogol:
[no propaganda submitted]
Gros:
One of Napoleon’s main painters. Pioneer of French Romanticism. Inspired many artists such as Delacroix and Géricault. He was very pretty.”
Clausewitz:
"what could possibly be sexier than a prussian uniform and a lasting impact on military theory?”
Czartoryski:
"Decided that the way to free Poland was by having a threesome with Alexander and his wife.”
#napoleonic sexyman tournament#naps ironically lost by more than a percent#although coming back to win a redemption poll was so on brand for him that I almost tweaked the rules for it

What If your favorite historical figure is in Ikemen Vampire Universe
My Favorite Is:
Raden Saleh Syarif Boestaman
Potrait painting Saleh Syarif Boestaman by Carl Johann Baehr
Raden Saleh Syarif Bustaman
(1811 – 23 April 1880) was born in the village of Terboyo, near Semarang on the island of Java in the Dutch East Indies (present-day Indonesia).
He was born into a noble Hadhrami family; his father was Sayyid Husen bin Alwi bin Awal bin Yahya. He was the grandson of Sayyid Abdullah Bustam through his mother, Raden Ayu Sarif Husen bin Alwi bin Awal. Through his sister, Roqayah, Raden Saleh was uncle by marriage to the famous religious leader Habib Ali Kwitang.
He was considered to be the first "modern" artist from Indonesia (then the Dutch East Indies), and his paintings corresponded with nineteenth-century romanticism which was popular in Europe at the time. He also expressed his cultural roots and inventiveness in his work.
Potrait painting of Raden Saleh by Friedrich Carl Albert Schreuel in 1840.
Young Raden Saleh was first taught in Bogor by the Belgian artist A.J. Payen. Payen acknowledged the youth's talent, and persuaded the colonial government of the Netherlands to send Raden Saleh to the Netherlands to study art. He arrived in Europe in 1829 and began to study under Cornelius Kruseman and Andreas Schelfhout.
It was from Kruseman that Raden Saleh studied his skills in portraiture, and later was accepted at various European courts where he was assigned to do portraits. While in Europe, in 1836 Saleh became the first indigenous Indonesian to be initiated into Freemasonry. From 1839, he spent five years at the court of Ernest I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who became an important patron.
From Schelfhout, Raden Saleh furthered his skills as a landscape painter. Raden Saleh visited several European cities, as well as Algiers. In The Hague, a lion tamer allowed Raden Saleh to study his lion, and from that his most famous painting of animal fights was created, which subsequently brought fame to the artist. Many of his paintings were exhibited at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Several of his paintings were destroyed when the Colonial Dutch pavilion in Paris was burnt in 1931.
Studio Potrait in 1872
23 April 1880, Saleh suddenly fell sick. He claimed that he was poisoned by one of his servants, and subsequently died; however post-mortem examination showed that his circulatory system was disrupted due to a clot near his heart. Saleh was buried two days later in Kampung Empang, Bogor. As reported in Javanese Bode newspaper, 28 April 1880, his funeral was "attended by various landheeren [landlords] and Dutch officials, and even by curious students from nearby school.
Raden Saleh Painting
During his stay in Paris, Saleh met Horace Vernet whose painting frequently took themes of African wildlife. Compared to Vernet, Saleh's painting seems to be more influenced by the romantic painter Eugène Delacroix. This could be seen in one of Saleh's work, Hunting Lion, 1840, which has similar composition to Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People. However, Werner Kraus, a researcher in the Southeast-Asian Art Center of Passau, Germany, said that Saleh "never mentioned Delacroix. Perhaps he saw Delacroix's, and possibly Vernet's, works during an exhibition.
And one of my favorite painting by Raden Saleh is:
The Arrest of Pangeran Diponegoro
Raden Saleh is particularly remembered for his historical painting, The Arrest of Pangeran Diponegoro, which depicted the betrayal of the rebel leader Prince Diponegoro by the colonial government, thus ending the Java War in 1830. The Prince was tricked into entering Dutch custody near Magelang, believing he was there for negotiations of a possible cease-fire. He was captured through treachery and later deported.
The event had been previously painted by a Dutch painter Nicolaas Pieneman, commissioned by Lieutenant General Hendrik Merkus de Kock. It is thought that Saleh saw this painting during his stay in Europe. Saleh made significant changes in his version of the painting; Pieneman painted the scene from the right, Saleh from the left.
Pieneman depicts Diponegoro with resigned expression, while in Saleh's he appears to be outraged. Pieneman gave his painting the title Submission of Prince Diponegoro, while Saleh gave The Arrest of Pangeran Diponegoro. It is known that Saleh deliberately painted Diponegoro's Dutch captors with large heads to make them appear monstrous, as opposed to the more proportionally depicted Javanese.
De onderwerping van Diepo Negoro aan luitenant-generaal baron De Kock by Nicolaas Pieneman 1830–1835.
Raden Saleh’s work has been regarded as a sign of incipient nationalism in what was then the Dutch East Indies / Indonesia. This can also be seen it the depiction of Diponegoro's men. Pieneman had never been to the Indies, and so depicted Diponegoro's men in a more Arabic fashion. Saleh's version has a more accurate depiction of native Javanese clothing, with some figures wearing batik and blangkon.
Saleh finished this painting in 1857 and presented it to Willem III of Netherlands in The Hague. It was returned to Indonesia in 1978 as a realization of a cultural agreement between the two countries in 1969, regarding the return of cultural items which were taken, lent, or exchanged to the Dutch in the previous eras. Even though the painting did not fall under any of those categories, because Saleh presented it to the King of the Netherlands and it was never in the possession of Indonesia, it was nevertheless returned as a gift from the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, and is currently displayed at the Merdeka Palace Museum in Jakarta.
My sketch prototype
I'm still trying to improve my digital art skill. And i think i will try to write story au about him in Ikevamp universe. I'm sorry for my bad English 😭😭

Plaque en hommage à : August Strindberg
Type : Commémoration
Adresse : Place August Strindberg, 75006 Paris, France
Date de pose : 6 novembre 2017 [source]
Texte : "J'entre souvent dans l'église pour me fortifier à la contemplation de la lutte de Jacob avec l'Ange d'Eugène Delacroix. Et en sortant je garde le souvenir du lutteur qui se tient debout en dépit de sa hanche démise." August Strindberg, 1849-1912, sculpté en 1905 par l'artiste suédois Carl Eldh (1873-1954). Ecrivain et artiste suédois, August Strindberg a vécu de longues et nombreuses périodes dans le 6ème arrondissement. Il considérait ses séjours à Paris comme "l'époque la plus fructueuse de sa vie".
Quelques précisions : August Strindberg (1849-1912) est un écrivain et peintre suédois. Après une jeunesse mouvementée durant laquelle il renonce à devenir médecin, il se tourne vers l'art et la littérature, accédant à la notoriété avec son roman La Chambre rouge, publié en 1879, célébrité qui se confirme quelques années plus tard avec sa pièce de théâtre Mademoiselle Julie (1888). Il s'installe à Paris en 1894 et, désormais versé dans le mysticisme et l'occultisme (après avoir également versé dans le nihilisme), s'intéresse à l'alchimie et à l'astronomie. Il relate ses années parisiennes, qui l'ont profondément marqué, dans Inferno, paru en 1897 après son retour en Suède. Il décède des suites d'un cancer. Cette plaque commémorative est située en dessous d'un buste à son effigie. Une autre plaque commémorative se trouve juste à côté sur le mur extérieur de l'église Saint-Sulpice, tandis qu'une autre plaque commémorative peut être trouvée non loin, rue d'Assas, où il vécut.

Romantizm | Sanat Akımları
Romantizm (veya Romantisizm) Batı Avrupa'da 18. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında Sanayi Devrimi'ne tepki olarak ortaya çıkmış karmaşık bir sanatsal, yazınsal ve entellektüel harekettir. Kısmen Aydınlanma Çağı'nın aristokratik toplumsal ve siyasal normlarına karşı bir başkaldırı ve doğanın bilimsel rasyonelleştirilmesine karşı bir tepkiydi. Ve kendini en çok görsel sanatlarda, müzikte ve edebiyatta gösterdi.
Romantizm akımı güçlü duyguyu estetik yaşantının otantik kaynağı olarak öne çıkardı. Ürküntü, dehşet, korku ve huşu —ve özellikle de el değmemiş doğanın yüceliği ve onun pitoresk nitelikleriyle karşılaşıldığında duyulan huşu— gibi duygulara yeni bir vurgu yaptı.
Romantizm yeniden canlandırılmış bir ortaçağcılığı veya otantik olarak ortaçağa ait olarak algılanan sanat ve anlatı unsurlarını yüceltmek üzere rasyonel ve Klasisist ideal modellerin ötesine geçti. Romantizm bir yandan nüfus artışı, şehirlerin büyümesi ve sanayileşmeden kaçarken, bir yandan da egzotik, bilinmedik ve uzak olanı kucakladı.
Romantik bir karakter üstün yetenekli, yanlış anlaşılmış yalnız bir kişidir; yaşadığı toplumun törelerinden ziyade kendi esinlerinin buyrultularını izleyen yaratıcı bir kişidir.
Her ne kadar hareketin kökleri, sezgi ve duyguyu Aydınlanma rasyonalizmine yeğleyen Alman Sturm und Drang hareketine uzansa da, Fransız Devrimi'nin ideolojileri ve bu devrim sürecinde yaşanan hadiseler hem Romantizmin hem de Karşı-Aydınlanma'nın ortaya çıktığı arkaplanı oluşturmuştur. Sanayi Devrimi'nin sınırlarının da kısmen modern gerçeklerden kaçış olan Romantizm üzerinde etkisi oldu. Romantizm topluma öncülük edecek olan cesur bireyciler ve sanatçıların başarılarını yüceltti. Eleştirel otorite olarak bireysel imgelemi meşrulaştırdı ve bu da sanattaki klasik form anlayışlarından kurtulmayı sağladı.
Fransız okulunun yeni kuşağının öncülüğündeki Avrupa resminde Romantik duyarlılık akademilerde öğretilmekte olan neoklasisizm ile karşıtlık içerisindeydi.
Romantik akımla yakından ilişkilendirilebilecek sanatçılar arasında J.M.W. Turner, Caspar David Friedrich, John Constable ve William Blake sayılabilir. Birleşik Devletler'de ise önde gelen Romantik akım, dramatik manzara resimleriyle kendini gösteren Hudson Nehri Okuluydu.
Romantizm akımının ardılları hiç kuşkusuz Ön-Rafaelciler ve Sembolistlerdir. Ama Empresyonizm ve onun yoluyla neredeyse bütün 20. yüzyıl sanatı Romantik gelenekle köklü bir bağa sahiptir.

Closing the 1840s -
Top: 1849 Grand Duchess Maria Mikhailovna (?) by Carl Timoleon von Neff (Hermitage) 1085X1473 @72 492kj. The Hermitage lists this as "Portrait of a Young Woman." However Dru identified the sitter as Grand Princess Maria Mikhailovna in a posting to the Alexander Palace Time Machine Discussion Forum of 27 September 2011 and another poster agreed with some doubt.
This work appeared to be unfinished, the background was not over-painted in an oval all around, although a guideline was made and much of the oval was completed. I filled in the unfinished background with Photoshop.

My headcanon is that Sam didn't actually grow up in Delacroix, he moved there in his teen years. So, he actually grew up in Harlem with Carl Lucas (Luke Cage) and his brother, Willis Stryker. He got his hair cut at Pop's every few weeks, and even was in the gang with Diamondback and Cottonmouth for a while. That's what scared his parents enough to move to Delacroix, which made them lose touch. When he heard that Pop was dead, he came to the funeral to pay his respects.
